Known for her hit singles “Block Dem”, “Rock my body” a collaboration featuring Rabadaba, and “Nkoye” featuring Radio (R.I.P), ÜK based Ugandan artist AVM is here to close off the last quarter of the year with her new banger titled “MaliYo”.
“MaliYo”which loosely translates to “Your Treasure” is about AVM professing her love to the significant other as she fuses Luganda and swahili.

“MaliYo” carries the signature sound of AVM complimented with a catchy hook that will make the song an earworm for the listener. With a video on the way MaliYo is pegged to become a crowd’s favorite as we usher in the festive season.
“AVM” Alice Violet Mutumba has been in the entertainment industry since the age of 6 years starting as a child TV star in her beloved Uganda. Alice moved to London, England at the age of 8, taking with her a passion for music and the performing arts.
It was in the UK where AVM nurtured her talents, including, singing, song writing, basic music production, TV presenting, acting, and more. At the age of 16 AVM started pursuing music seriously after being encouraged by her Performing Arts A-Level teacher, she later enrolled in a music technology course and started co- writing and producing pop songs with a German freelance producer.

AVM has so far collaborated with talented Uganda artists such as Cesearous, Rabadaba and the legendry late Mowzey Radio, this has established her as Uganda’s next big talent, the one to watch out for in the coming year .
